Rhizome of Smooth Brome
Bromus inermis Leyss.
The rhizome is a key morphobiological organ of smooth brome (Bromus inermis), ensuring plant longevity and vegetative reproduction. It determines the crop's high drought resistance and its ability to effectively stabilize soil.
In the reference 4 varieties crop Smooth brome, where this is mentioned in the description.
Smooth brome is a rhizomatous loose-bunched grass with long, resilient underground shoots. The depth at which they occur ranges from 8–10 cm in meadow forms to 15–20 cm in steppe forms, with the total length of rhizomes reaching 10–11 m per 1 m² at a density of 127–156 units/m².
Functionally, the rhizomes are responsible for the formation of new generative and vegetative shoots, a process that lasts from the flowering phase until late autumn. This ensures the plant a lifespan of up to 8–10 years under hay-harvesting use, while the robust underground system allows it to extract moisture from depths of up to 2 m.
